Trivia

WAMPAS Baby Star of 1922.

Emotive, brown-haired and blue-eyed silent screen actress, a former movie extra discovered by D.W. Griffith in a crowd scene in Naissance d'une nation (1915). Later mentored by another director, Frank Borzage, under whose tutelage she shot to stardom from 1917. Her career petered out after the coming of sound.

She reportedly had difficulties with MGM chief Louis B. Mayer during her three years under contract to that studio, which resulted in her being blacklisted by other major studios and relegated to work in the lower-rung studios known as "Poverty Row".

Said to have resembled Gloria Swanson in close-ups.

Has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
